Then the numbers realized in the 4000 series were assigned to the R22R.

All members who have four-digit numbers were already part of the regiments before the start of the war. Thereafter, the numbers became five and six-digit numbers.

First of all, the serviceman in question did not die in the fight. Secondly, as his(her,its) roll begins with the letter E, he(it) was native da the region of Quebec. The servicemen native of the region of Montreal had one roll commencant by the letter D.

Not sure the interpretation of the early wartime numbers is correct. C.Laws Regimental Numbers of the Canadian Army 1936-1960 indicates that until 1940 regimental numbers were issued by the regiment on a sequence from 1 to 9999. In 1940,numbers were assigned in alpha numeric blocks. So the Exxxx number was not issued until 1940. For many regiments, the low numbers were not necessarily soldiers in pre war service, but soldiers enlisted before the new numbering system was adopted.
